A microwave is a photon of electromagnetic energy within a certain range of frequencies, or, you could say that microwaves are electromagnetic radiation within a certain range of grequencies.
Microwaves do not use energy and neither does light in the visible part of the spectrum.
Do you mean “microwave over” by “microwaves”? If so, what are you comparing to what? My microwave’s maximum current draw is 1200 watts. That equivalent to about twelve 100 watt incandescent light bulbs.
What you write suggests that a visible light with an output of 1200watts/50000 would cook as well as my microwave. That means that you’d only need a visible light rated at 0.024 watts Most flashlight bulbs use about 1 watt of current. So unless I’ve misunderstood something, a pocket penlight ought to be able to cook my dinner in a few minutes.
